Fall rockhunt information: Corrections and additions.

On the big Fall hunts schedule, I got two of the starting times wrong. They are corrected below:

November

Th

17

Stillwell Ranch

Start Time: 7 a.m.

December

S

24

Ritchie Ranch

Start Time: 9 a.m.

Or, to put it another way, the starting times for all Fall field trips will be:

East Needle Peak and Stillwell Ranch: 7 a.m.

Singleton Ranch, and South Larremore Ranch: 8 a.m.

Ritchie Ranch: 9 a.m.

The Larremore Ranch and the South Larremore Ranch mentioned in the field trip list are the same place. But the South Larremore Ranch is not the same as the old Larremore Ranch that we hunted back in about 2006. The South Larremore Ranch is very productive with lots of unusual agates in addition to those similar to the Alpine agates and the agates from the Needle Peak area. If this is confusing, just remember that all the Larremore ranch field trips on the Fall schedule are to the same wonderful ranch.

I neglected to mention in the email that, if no one has signed up for a field trip a week before the date of the trip, the trip will be cancelled. I know this makes it difficult for people who make last-minute trips to the Big Bend, but in previous years I spent a lot of time preparing for field tips just in case someone wanted to attend who hadn’t signed up. My schedule this year is too tight to allow me to do that.

Thank you all for bearing with me. I’ve only been doing this for 15 years or so. I should know what to put in an email by now!
